The 1998 Cotes du Rhone rouge (a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, and 10% Syrah) exhibits more flavor intensity and texture than its light ruby color suggests. It offers abundant quantities of jammy cherry fruit in a medium to full-bodied, plump, corpulent style. It should be consumed over the next 2-3 years.Importer: Martine's Wines, Novato, CA; tel.
